Basketball- Continued The king of winter sports, 'tliasketballf' the game which has become so much a part of every Indiana community, did not find Hammond lacking in enthusiastic fans. The records credit Hammond with only one victory during the season. Hammond was forced to forfeit all games won until February 25, because, through a mistake, an ineligible player had been allowed to remain on the squad until then. Hammond defeated VVhiting with five eligible men 23-18. Hammond then defeated Lowell and Roosevelt in the Sectional Tournament before they were eliminated by East Chicago, regional champions. Throughout the season the entire squad worked diligently. There were no complaints on refereeing by the well coached players. The players were all sportsmen as well as basketball players. Co.-xcH CH L'RcH Being a member of Purdue's Victory Five which cleaned up the Big Ten seven years ago is a good recommendation for any coach, but Coach Paul Church has more than thisg he has a pleasing personality and a fund of basketball knowledge. The best part about his strategy is that he is able to put it into the greens-st players and develop them, as is evi- denced by the fact that he turned out two state championship teams while in Elgin, Ill. Hammond is indeed lucky, and the team fortunate, to secure the services of so valuable a man as Mr. Church. COACH CHURCH .- Fozzrfcfn

Many of the yvilaems' vim ' S ' 'i A r1e were cue to rchie's ability to make impossible shots count. Low li LL CORNXVELL, Forward The most important thing about Lowell Cornwell was that he Could play either guard or forward and play each above reproach. Lowell is a Senior. IDDRBIN Bizowy, Guard Hats off to Durbin Brown, winner of the Perge Club basketball trophy given for the best attitude and ability. Durk had two years of experience. VVILLLAM FRIEnHoIf, Guard Playing this year in the purple and white, Bill Friedhof became known for his ability to dust the draperies with long ones. PAUL CUVERNIAN, Center Among the remaining players is Paul Overman, an ardent basketball fan and a proficient player. Besides being a good guard, Gabe is a very good center. H6JXX'i-XRIJ LESLIE, Center lt was discovered that Howard Leslie, high point man, was ineligible, as he was competing in his fifth fall semester. His loss hurt the team. Thirteen
